Don't Worry, Salt Shipments are on the way!

It has snowed about two inches where I live, but that has been melting for days. Even in ski resorts in Scotland, the highest snowfall reported is a foot. So the media's doomsday reporting of Britain under siege from blizzards seems a little out of place.

"Salt Shipments Due as Snow Forecast"

(Image: Salt n. substance obsessed over by the Nanny State. Good on roads, bad on your food.)

It's like the Home Front during WWII, when people looked to shipping convoys across the Atlantic for food and supplies (yes, we do appreciate the help, America).

The difference, of course, is that peoples' lives actually depended on those shipments.

However, what seems to be of equal importance nowadays, is dealing with 'dangerous driving conditions' and 'dangerous footpaths'. Don't worry, people of Britain, salt is on the way! Is this how far our domestication has gone?
